This Layer of Fear guide details the lock combination for the ‘Look Closer’ chest padlock and how to get it.

Layers of Fear is the definitive package for fans of the psychological horror series. This latest instalment incorporates the first two games (rebuilt in Unreal Engine 5) and a brand new story. These tales have been interlaced to provide a new perspective on the series’ chilling narrative.

When the game begins, you play as a new protagonist — The Writer. After a brief introduction to her story in the lighthouse, you shift to The Painter.

As he desperately explores his ever-changing mansion, he has just one goal in mind. To complete his masterpiece. But this requires the correct supplies. These are scattered throughout the warped building which can be turned upside down in an instant.

You must also complete a series of puzzles throughout the mansion in order to progress the story. One of these revolves around a locked chest in a room that has “Look Closer” written on the wall. The chest’s padlock requires a combination, but what is it and how do you find it?
